Thanks for the reminder.
But we are still not sure if it’s cosmetic upgrades (with Akra exhaust as option or included) or mechanical/performance upgrades as well.
But looking back through this thread, I also saw that we had been talking about a 245kW engine that Volkswizard spotted in his GTI test drive car manual.
So is there a 326bhp upgrade for Edition 45? I know others have said no it will be all cosmetic but remember that Clubsport S was more powerful than R at the time.
I know the interview said there would be no Clubsport S but there are so many ways that you can take that statement from (no there will be no Golf Mk8 called Clubsport S or no we are not doing a limited edition, or we aren’t doing a stripped out car and no back seats)
But maybe a production run vehicle which is as practical as a golf but with more power ( as fits an Edition model) but even more chassis trickery could be on cards.
I’m thinking Civic Type R manages front wheels with 316bho so why won’t VW try another 10bhp. As an aside what is the most powerful front wheel drive car production car. I am thinking something that car maker actually sold rather than your mate got stage 3 out of his Old 2wd Focus RS and it was dyno’d at 495bhp.
Anyway apart from all this speculation, the lack of semiconductors and ordering a performance Golf, no doubt they will be into late 21 or 2022 before any appear
